During organization improvement effort at CDC, the Parker Group exceeded all expectations by going well beyond their calling to helping us to stay strategically focused and proactively think about the needs of our organization. We hired them to assist with aligning the technology components of the new organization, but soon realized that their skills and areas of expertise reach well beyond technology management. They also successfully assisted us areas of strategic planning and organizational design, build and implementation. They communicated clearly and listened carefully to the needs of the organization. Besides being a joy to work with, Gloria Parker is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits. She and her team successfully developed the blue prints for a lean and efficient organizational structure.
This company does business with the mind-set that they are here to help us, not sell us services. The integrity and openness of the Parker Group made it easy to integrate the team into the CDC environment. It's nice to know there are people who are as good as their word and their handshake when conducting business.

While not normally giving “5”’s, this training was a top-notch effort worthy of a “5”. The only issue was time…not enough. Gloria was engaging and theatric-effective teacher. Having the resources from outside entities was welcome. (CenturyLink)

Gloria Parker, of Parker Group Consulting, did an extraordinary job of helping Qinetiq develop a strategy for marketing innovative solutions to the First-Responder community. We called on her because of her expertise, not only as a successful executive in sales and marketing at a major Fortune 50 company, but also as one of the most successful and innovative government executives in the IT community. She has been an extraordinary asset to our company.
